The Fifth Book of Moses CalledDeuteronomy

Chapter 32

Israel will sing the song of Moses and acclaim: God speaks to heaven and earth; the children of Israel were known in the premortal life; God chose them in this life; they forgot the Rock of their salvation; He sent terror, a sword, and vengeance upon them; there is no God beside Him—Moses will be gathered to his people.

1 aGive ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and bhear, O earth, the cwords of my mouth.

2 My doctrine shall drop as the arain, my bspeech shall distil as the cdew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

3 Because I will apublish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 He is the aRock, his work isbperfect: for all his ways arecjudgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, djust and right is he.

19 And when the Lord saw it, he aabhorredthem, because of the bprovoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20 And he said, I will ahide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a bvery froward generation, children in whom is no cfaith.

21 They have moved me to ajealousy with that which is not God; they have bprovoked me to canger with their vanities: and I will move them to djealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22 For a afire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 I will heap amischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

24 They shall beaburnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25 The asword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

46 And he said unto them, Set your ahearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your bchildren to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall aprolongyour days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount aNebo, which is in the land of Moab, that isbover against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

50 And adie in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as bAaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

51 Because ye atrespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of bMeribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
